Be it known that i, Gemme i, JmTricN- mime eitixen oi" die United States, residing :it Imkewood, in the county ofvuynhogzi :md State' of iiio, have invented e certain; new end useful iiproremen, in Hangers for iifzilbiedieiore, of which the following4 is e fidi, eieer, und exact description. A

This invention reiintes io e henger for weil radiatores :1mi in certain respects is en improvement ever the eonseruewion shown in my prior Peezlt No. 1,172,582, granted Febrimry 2i', i916.

The principal objeci of ibis invention is io simpiify emi reduce the expense of the hanger of my prior paient, and pm 'tieuierly 'to eliminate the neeessijy for orgings Without in 1the leest decreasing the supporting strength of the hangen N The invention mey be briei. summarized zie consisiiiig in certain novei emile of comv struction :imi oombiiieiions miei arrangeu ments ej parte which Wiii be described in. the specification und set oi'hh iii'iie eppeiicieri eieiziie.,

It iriigiie mentioned wt this point @hat this lefaerei eongiited opening l0 eiiowe he neeeeeer, longitudinal movement of jiie radiator greve,- tive to the bracket under the eeiion .of el@ pension or contraction.

Both the bracket i0 andewer reeiieeif seat can be formed ot castings such as malleable iron or gray cast iron, and the remainder of the hanger, including the bolt- 13, and :Short upper bolt 16 with its washer 16 are simple inexl'iensire members, and as 4there iS practically no machining required in making the parts, it will readily be seen 'that the cost of the hanger has been reduced to practically a minimum. 1Nevertheless, this hanger has ample strength, the whole weight ot the radiator being carried up to the upper ear of the bracket 10, this portion being made ot' sulticient thickness to support the radiator with an ample 'factor of safety.

l naslnuch as the bolt 13 passes loosely through both ears ot the bracket and loosely' through the upper end ll otl the seat 14, and

as the seat supporting nut 13b is held from turning on the bolt, the radiator can be adjusted vertically by simply turning the bolt 13 by a wrench applied to the upper bolt head.

Having described my invent-ion, what I claim. is:

1. A hanger for a wall radiator comprising a bracket adapted to be secured to a wall and having laterally projecting portions` a bolt passing freely through said laterally' eX- tending portions of the bracket, a radiator seat having a lower radiator engaging portion `and having a portion extending upwardly therefrom and adjustably connected to the bolt between the laterally extending portions ofV the bracket.

2. A hanger for a wall radiator comprising a bracket adapted to be secured to a. wall and having outstanding portions, a bolt passang freely through` these portions, a lower radiator seat having a pbrt-ion adapted to engage the lower partof' the radiator and having an upwardly eztending part with an opening througha which the bolt freely signature.

passes, a nut on the bolt held troni turning b v thc seat and supporting the seat. said nut being located between the outstanding portions of the bracket.

3. hanger 'for wall radiators comprising a bracket adapted to be secured to a wall and having laterally projecting ears. a bolt. passingt'reely through said ears. a radiator seat having a radiator engaging portion beneath the lower ear. and having a portion extending upwardly past the lower ear-aud adjustably supported on the boltl between the ears, the upwardly extending portion oi the seat and the lower ear having interfitting guiding portions.

l.. A hanger t'or a wall radiator comprising` a bracket haring upper and lower outwardly projecting ears, a bolt passing freely through the ears and provided with an adjustable nut between the ears, a radiator seat having a lower portion which is beneath the lower ear of the bracket, an upstanding portion which extends past the lower ear, and an inwardly extending portion through which the bolt passes, and which rests on said nut, theI upwardly extending portion ot' the seat and the lower ear of the bracket having intel-fitting portions.

5. A hanger for a wallradiator comprising a bracket having outwardly. extending ears, the upper ear terniinating in a downturned lip, constituting a side bearing` por` tion for the radiator, a bolt. extending freely through both ears, a lower radiator seat adjust-ably connected to the bolt between the ears, and means passing through said lip and adapted to extend through the radiator tor pressing the radiator against said lip.
